Steve Reich's WTC 9/11 marks the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, which is the subject of Reich's piece. Commissioned for and recorded by Kronos Quartet, WTC 9/11 is scored for three string quartets and pre-recorded voices. The album also includes Reich's "Mallet Quartet," performed by S Percussion, and "Dance Patterns," featuring members of Steve Reich and Musicians, as well as a DVD with a live performance of "Mallet Quartet" by S Percussion.
WTC 9/11 reflects on the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, when Reich and his family lived only four blocks away from the site of the tragedy. "On 9/11 we were in Vermont, but our son, granddaughter, and daughter-in-law were all in our apartment. Our phone connection stayed open for six hours and our next-door neighbors were finally able to drive north out of the city with their family and ours. For us, 9/11 was not a media event," the composer says.
The piece is scored for three string quartets; Kronos recorded all three parts for the album. WTC 9/11 also uses pre-recorded voices, the speakers' final vowels and consonants elongated in a stop-motion sound technique that Reich says is the "means of connecting one person to another-harmonically." Those voices and their texts belong to NORAD air traffic controllers, as they raised the alert that the airplanes were off course; FDNY workers on the scene; friends and former neighbors of the Reichs, recalling that day; and women who kept vigil, or Shmira, over the dead in a tent outside the Medical Examiner's office, reading Psalms or Biblical passages. The relationship between Steve Reich and Kronos Quartet spans more than 20 years. This is the third quartet the composer has written for Kronos; all three have been recorded by Nonesuch.

Cayucas: Pronounced "ky-yook-us", is the monikered homage to a sleepy little seaside town in San Luis Obispo County, California. That town, Cayucos, has hardly changed in the last 50 years, a far cry from the gentrified tourist traps parading showily down the nearby coastline. In the early 1960s, the surfing craze hit. There was one bar around which local kids congregated back then, the site of helpless crushes and fights and games of pool, a place whose jukebox soundtracked innumerable teenage years as breezy summers rolled into mild winters and back around again. The bar has since disappeared, but as Zach Yudin, the man behind the name, will tell you, the place still holds on tight to its propensity for dreamy, lazy, bonfire-lit nights worth getting moony-eyed about.
Cayucas' debut album bears little resemblance to the sound of modern California that's been so omnipresent over the past few years. Instead, Bigfoot posesses flirty rhythmic sensibilities both snappy and sparkling, a rosy, near-tropical warmth, and a loose and conversational feel that position you right in the line of Yudin's wry gaze.
Having moved to Japan for a year to teach, he became inspired by the country's love of electronic music. He started writing Daft Punk-style material while he was out there, and experimenting with the vinyl sampling that would form a crucial component of Cayucas' early sound- old rock albums by bands like the Beach Boys, the Tornadoes, and the Animals. Although he has since set aside the synthesizer, this braiding together of proto-pop group classics fed directly into the album.
Bigfoot was recorded up in the chilly Pacific Northwest – in Oregon, with Secretly's Richard Swift in charge of production. It's the result of Swift and Yudin's symbiotic working relationship, and positivity one of its brightest qualities, even when recalling missed opportunities – there's no space for downcast vibes here. 'High School Lover' is perhaps Bigfoot most quintessential song; centered around a chiming rhythm ripe for shimmying, and a tale that sums up Yudin's taste for his own personal nostalgia.
After working at a local independent jazz label for a couple of years, he's now making music full-time, rehearsing with his new band for Cayucas' first live shows, running along the Venice Beach boardwalk, and hitting a certain bar each night to play pool, hang out, and listen to the Beach Boys. Some places don't change.

Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst continues to earn his reputation as our most respected young troubadour with almost frightening ease. He's been recording since the age of 13, and for the past few years he's been tagged "rock's boy genius" by the music press. Now, with the release of these two albums, we have unequivocal proof that the 24 year-old Oberst belongs amid our lineage of great American songwriters. These albums are a soundly articulated slice of modern life rolled into two very different records, both bursting with all of the heartfelt poetry for which Bright Eyes' records have earned their acclaim.Of course, the rough edges haven't gone away - the palpitation of a splintering note, the crack of a voice as it overextends, the clumsy thump of a misplaced thumb. It's all still there. But there's a glorious new level of depth and a maturation of texture, writing and delivery.

For celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band, Iconic rockers Low have announced the March 19 release of new album, The Invisible Way, via Sub Pop. Produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, engineered by Tom Schick and recorded in Wilco's studio in Chicago, Ill., during the fall of 2012, this new album's release will also mark the band's 20th anniversary.
The 11-track effort is poised to be riddled with depth, with themes inspired by "intimacy, the drug war, the class war, plain old war war, archaeology and love," as guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk explains it. Want more details? Watch the album's trailer above.

Singles is the fourth studio album released by the American band Future Islands on March 24, 2014 through 4AD Records.

Let's Be Still is the second album from American sextet the Head and the Heart, and follows their well-received eponymous debut album. Their indie-inspired Americana sound is that of a well-settled band, whose members had forged their songwriting friendship at a Seattle bar's open-mike nights in 2010. Their soaring harmonies and folk hooks were produced by Shawn Simmons and mixed by the National engineer Peter Katis.
The Head and The Heart是一支独立民谣流行乐队，来自美国西雅图，成立于2009年。乐队成员包括Josiah Johnson(主唱，吉他，打击乐)，Jonathan Russell (主唱，吉他，打击乐)， Charity Rose Thielen (小提琴，和声)，Chris Zasche (贝斯), Kenny Hensley (键盘), 以及Tyler Williams (鼓手)。2009年发行同名首专The Head and The Heart，在随后的几个月，专辑售出10000份。西雅图艺术杂志在2011年3月，将他们评为“西雅图最佳新乐队”。Let’s Be Still是他们第二张专辑，即将发行，大量和声，小提琴，钢琴的旋律，一张绝佳的民谣新专。

weezer的第二张专辑，AMG五星评价，吐血推荐，90年代最佳专辑之一

在Grunge大潮渐渐退去之时，在尖叫和烟熏还未成为标尺之时，Jeremy已经将一种情绪带入到了摇滚乐中，而SDRE则是名副其实的Emo开山鼻祖。《Diary》的出现开创了一个先河，而SDRE却在几年之后被一群哥特装扮的形式主义者抢去了引导潮流的风头。一直以来的声名在外却默默无闻的现状与他们十年来的分分合合不无关联。
